"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell."~ Buddha.

HOW TO DRIVE A WIKI:

Links for how to Embedding Video, Podcast, etc. As we all are learners here if you find something on the web that we all can use please add your external link to the page.

RULES OF WIKI:
  • All assignments will be turned into the appropriate class listed above.
  • A homework calendar page will be added in the near future that will list assignments.
  • Always name your pages with your or all members of the groups name. For example, "Careers in Psychology: A Letter to My Mother" by Frank, Andrew, and Sarah.
  • Peer responses must be put in the discussion tab.
  • All assignments have a time stamp, so don't turn your work late.
  • Remember that you are publishing this work to the world; therefore, remember to keep it academically appropriate. Inappropriate uses include, but are not limited to the following: name calling or personal attacks on fellow students or KIS staff, any foul language or pictures of that are sexually suggestive, and pictures promoting the use of illegal substances.

Failure to comply with the KIS internet safety guidelines could get you banded from the website which would be detrimental to your grade.__



Making Sense of Web 2.0**
Let's face it, the world of the future will be largely conducted via Web 2.0 or interactive communications. It's shocking for many of us. Others have just simply evolved into this new world on the web. For whatever reason you are - like me - a little intimidated by this, there are several websites that might provide you with information about Web 2.0, and about the tools you might need to navigate within it. Below I have found websites which can help you with homework assignments or provide you with better understanding of this new approach.
